We’re heading west to Park City, Utah!! We’re excited to be participating in National Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month. Utah’s ski and snowboard resorts are joining 34 other states in January, offering special deals for first time skiers and snowboarders.

The program strives to make learning skiing and snowboarding easy, accessible and affordable for children and adults and it’s endorsed by Utah’s very own Governor Gary Herbert. Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month has challenged everyone to get out and exercise this year with the theme “Humans Were Never Meant to Hibernate.”

We’re human and we’re ready! While Rick has skied before, Sandi has not and learning to ski has been on her bucket list for quite some time! We’re looking forward to every aspect of the trip and expect that we will make lodging an Olympic event!

“Learning to love winter recreation and lifetime sports is a great way to stay healthy all year long,” noted Ski Utah Marketing Director Raelene Davis. “Additionally, we hope this initiative will encourage more Utahns to enjoy the state’s most famous resource, The Greatest Snow on Earth®.”

Utah’s resorts have celebrated this challenge and will be offering unique deals and discounts: www.skiutah.com/winter/locals/lssm/.
